What legions did Trajan take to Dacia?
#7
(I missed your reply, Geert, while I was writing my own!)

Quote:"De metatione castrorum" mentions the involvement of 500 Palmyrenes, 900 Getae, 700 Daci, 500 Britons and 700 Cantabri.

btw Note that the dating of the De munitionibus castrorum has been hotly disputed and may not (a) apply to Trajan's reign, or (b) refer to an historical event at all. Unless I've missed something ...?
